Description:

PS1 Pluralistic School is an independent elementary school for Kindergarten through 6th-grade in the heart of Santa Monica. This is a place where we nurture and value the unique qualities contributed by each individual student and each adult at our school.

Pluralism, which is the ‘P’ in PS1, is the belief that a community is enriched when individual differences are understood, respected, and welcomed.

At PS1 we recognize and build upon a child’s passions, interests, talents, personal expressions, and uniqueness. We value a child for who they are and what they bring to their everyday life experience inside and outside the classroom. And we get to work with students who are motivated, engaged, confident individuals; strong in themselves, open to knowing others, and ready to take on new challenges.

Founded in 1980, Westside Neighborhood School (WNS) is a leading independent preschool-8th grade school, located in the heart of West LA’s Playa Vista neighborhood.

At WNS, “Learning with Purpose. Leading with Heart” is more than a tagline—it’s a lived experience. Rooted in a joyful, child-centered approach, WNS empowers students to grow intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. Our students are curious thinkers, bold creators, and compassionate leaders who take ownership of their learning and their impact. Through a rich, project-based curriculum and a commitment to active learning, we nurture innovation, resilience, and a growth mindset. At WNS, every child is encouraged to take risks, embrace mistakes, and celebrate the unique strengths they and others bring to the community.

In Fall 2026, WNS will open its state-of-the-art new campus home, seated on 5 acres of land in Playa Vista.

WNS now welcomes children as young as 2 years old to our head-start preschool program, with flexible extended year options through June and July, ideal for the working parent.
